Chelsea Guglielmino/Getty Lucie also said that the portrayed tension between the characters ofVivian Vanceand William Frawley, who played Ethel and Fred onI Love Lucy, was "overly done." And while she claimed she attempted to speak with writer and director Sorkin, 64, about what she perceived as inaccuracies, the famed couple's eldest child said he wasn't receptive. "You can't talk to Aaron. He's Aaron Sorkin," Lucie said, noting that he said he'd be open to "meaningful consultation" only to conclude, " 'Well, what do you know? You were 15 months old.' " Hulton Archive/Getty Actor Keith Thibodeaux, who played Little Ricky onI Love Lucy, was also featured on the panel discussion, saying of Sorkin's film, "It's well done and all that, I just didn't get it." A rep for Sorkin did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Monday, June 9. Being the Ricardosreceived threeAcademy Awardnominations, including acting nods for both Kidman, 57, and Bardem, 56. In 2022, Bardem told PEOPLE thathe felt Desi's spirit while he was working on the film. "When you play a character like him, you are invoking his spirit and essence, and you have to be respectful with that. ... Every time I would come back from the shoot, I would talk to him. I would look at the stars and let him know how the day went," Bardem said at the time. "And I would ask for his blessing and permission to go for the next day."

"Nicole did a spectacular job," Lucie said at the time. "Whatshe did was astounding. She's got such poise and class." But during that same interview, Lucie admitted that there were "certain scenes" of the film that she "wished" Sorkin hadn't included. "I couldn't get my way and have them taken out, but they weren't accurate. And I thought, 'That shouldn't be in there, because that never happened. That's not true,' " she said at the time. "And it's not just theatrical license, it just wasn't true," Lucie continued. "And the day they shot the scene, the sprinklers went off on the set and destroyed the whole set."
